I’ve asked the #GE2024 candidates who want to be my next MP to back the Climate & Nature Bill. It’s our best hope of tackling the climate-nature crisis and building a more prosperous future for all. Will you join me? #CANBill @zerohour_uk action.zerohour.uk/

6/ The key tests of whether these Community Right to Buy proposals will be strong enough are: a) Will communities get *first refusal* when an Asset comes up for sale? @AngelaRayner has previously said so (below) b) Will Labour continue to finance the Community Ownership Fund?

After today's High Court ruling that govt and @EnvAgency are acting illegally is this a good time to remind you the SoS for @DefraGovUK is married to an executive at @AnglianWater a WC guilty of 72 environmental permit breaches over the last 10 years? theguardian.com/politics/202…

If you want to hear how we solve the #ClimateCrisis, and whether this government is up to the job, then don’t miss this. And what a great pleasure it’s been to work alongside the awesome @maryportas and the brilliant @Kevin_McCloud πŸ™πŸΌπŸŒ
We could stop climate change – and the solutions to it could benefit us all. Tune in tonight at 9.15pm to watch The Great Climate Fight on Channel 4. #ClimateFight #ChangeClimate

So many unresolved issues but basically no houses here please. It’s chokka already. – at East Midlands, England
Plans for the 423-home scheme were filed nearly five years ago and there is said to be widespread anxiety in the local community about a decision Their main concern is that flooding issues in the already flood-hit town could be worsened derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/lo…

Ok, this is beyond a joke now!! 😑 @NationalHways, PLEASE tell me why your contractors are out mowing down approx. 20 MILES (no joke!) of #wildflowers in the form of Oxeye Daisies, Sainfoin, Red Clover and MANY more, on the side of a straight section of the A1M?? Let’s say this was 5m wide (much wider in places), that’s approx. 160,000sqm (16 hectares or 39.5 acres!) of #wildflowermeadow you’ve single-handedly wiped out overnight! No sight restrictions, no safety concerns. Please have the decency to respond. So much for a #NoMowSummer. Photo taken by a passenger. – at Peterborough, England

Does seem to be a good one for me. Finally given up their years of mirror & window bashing. Filling hedges, boxes & eaves. Nicking my lettuce too πŸ˜†πŸ˜¬πŸ€”πŸ’š
The garden is absolutely FULL of baby house sparrows. Only the males are feeding their young, which perch on the trellis and helplessly flap their wings – the females will be sitting on eggs of the next brood. A bumper year for them? I hope so 🐣πŸ₯
